It’s time to complete your SteamWorld collection
We’re nearing a new month, and that means it’s time to hear about some free games on the horizon across multiple platforms and subscriptions. In the case of Prime Gaming, Amazon Prime members canclaim seven PC gamesin March, a few of which stand out.
These games will be free with Prime Gaming on March 1:
Those first three are the big boys, so let’s run through ’em.
Madden NFL 22might be worth a look if you’re able topush through ongoing issuesand do your thing in Franchise mode, although there is always that lingering sense that there’s clear room for improvement, and that can be distracting. I mean, you know the drill. That’s the annual sports game life. It’s worth noting that if PC isn’t your preferred platform forMadden, the Xbox version is currently a part ofEA Play / Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
I’m sure plenty of us who lovedSteamWorld Digand evenSteamWorld Heisthave not taken the time to check outSteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech. It’s a turn-based RPG with card battling, which is not everyone’s cup of tea, myself included. That said, I feel like theSteamWorldcharm can do some heavy lifting here, and I think a decent chunk of players have gotten more comfortable with card mechanics from games likeSlay the Spire.
As forSurviving Mars, it’s a chance to build the (probably) ill-advised colony of your dreams. One of my favorite facets of management/builder sims is the ever-present threat of shit going real bad, real fast, and the need to adapt to situations on the fly.
What about the other four games?
Cryptois a tower defense game with “hackers and other blockchain threats,” whilePesterquestis a visual novel forHomestuckfans, andlooK INsideis a point-and-click adventure that’s a family affair. Of the lesser-knowns, I’m most curious aboutThe Stillness of the Wind— that palette is such a mood, and the solitary homestead premise is unique.
That’s it for March, but it’s not too late to grabStellarisif you missed it earlier this month.
